Food is amazing; Staff is extremely friendly and provide excellent service. The place is small but quant with an ambience of the kitchen and staff working really hard to service the customers. You must order first before sitting. Which is not an issue. However, just a tid bit; weekends are very busy. But with the wait. read more

Still love the food. Still hate the 15 minute cutoff. Not cool to turn away customers. TWICE. Nothing more to say ,Just for the record, nowhere else I go pulls this. Like NOWHERE! Food Krank will return with a smile and empty stomach. I pray you revisit this policy. read more

Found a little neighborhood gem in St.Pete that we drove to today for brunch! Some indoor and outdoor seating available after you place your order at the register. We enjoyed the pancakes and the Uptown sandwich (egg, tomatoes, greens, cheese and sauce) as well as an iced toffee coffee and they use Monin syrups (The Best!)! The staff is super friendly and a lot of regulars were greeted by name! They are a part of the In Kind app so you can earn a % of your total back! A fun experience! It's got earthy vibes and the seating is such that you can carry in a conversation with your neighbor and meet new people. read more

The breakfast sandwiches were fire! It took a while to order, but it wasn't a big deal. Food came out relatively quickly. My only complaint is that I was not very full after the sandwich, but it was still really good! read more

Uptown Eats is amazing! Hands down the best coffee I've had in St. Pete on any of my visits. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We enjoyed sitting outside since the weather was absolutely perfect -- such a great atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot, and I will definitely be back! read more

Best food experience this year (and yes I know it's late October!) Dan and his staff serve up the tastiest, innovative, and fresh food in an unassuming, centrally located, modern diner-style restaurant in St Pete. Their specialty is breakfast and lunch, but a few times a year they open for dinner and it is ALWAYS EPIC. This time was no exception! I brought two friends from Boston with me for the October Feast, and they were delighted! We wanted to order everything from the special menu (see photo) and settled on Pierogies, Muenster mash grilled cheese (with mushrooms and onions... my favorite of the evening!), the pumpkin chili, and the schnitzel with potatoes and purple cabbage. Every single dish was so delicious, there wasn't a morsel left on anyone's plate. Today, my friends are still raving about the meal and planning their next visit to try out the regular menu. Many thanks to Dan and his staff for a wonderful evening! (Note that my only regret is that my photos can't properly convey the incredible smell and taste for all of you!) P.s. I'm craving the purple cabbage today... who knew cabbage could be an addictive vegetable? read more

Quaint little bistro tucked just outside of downtown, Uptown Eats is a charming spot that punches well above its weight. I started with the Toffee Coffee, which lived up to its name--both bitter and sweet, with a rich and creamy kick that made for a bold wake-up call. For breakfast, my companion ordered two eggs with non-sausage gravy and a jalapeño cheddar scone (there were lots of biscuit and scone options, but she went spicy). The soft scrambled eggs were a standout--whipped smooth and perfectly blended with creamy Gouda. Paired with a small side of fruit--just enough watermelon and a slice of orange to brighten the plate--it was balanced and satisfying. The Hot Hot Heat sandwich was a monster. Over-easy egg with a gloriously oozing yolk, chorizo, and fresh jalapeños packed real heat and flavor. Not for the faint of heart! Yes, it took a little while to get our food, but the thoughtful prep and attention to presentation made it more than worth the wait. Uptown Eats is the kind of place you plan to linger--and you'll be glad you did. read more

I love Uptown Eats! Highly rated for good reason :) I panic ordered the exact same thing I got last time I was here and I remembered liking it more last time- everything here looks so good and I'd be excited to try something new next time. I got the Uptown bowl- I thought the potatoes were a little bland that day but I liked everything else in it! The real star of the show for me was the COFFEE! I ordered the iced aerated espresso which piqued my interest because I'd never seen an aerated coffee on a menu before. It has no milk, just sweetened lightly with honey and lemon. It was fantastic- perfect amount of sweetness for me and just such a unique bevvie. Would 100% order again! The woman who brought us our coffees told me that she actually came up with the menu item. She was so nice! Hopefully more to come! read more

Uptown Eats is about 1 mile from the Vinoy, where we're staying. Hubby and I decided to walk to breakfast this morning and it was well worth the walk. We ordered at the counter and they brought the food out to us. We both ordered the Two Eggs plate. The fried eggs were perfectly cooked as we ordered. We selected a biscuit, grits and cheese, and a side order of roasted potatoes. The biscuit was the best I've ever had. I wish I would have ordered extras (next time for sure!!). The grits were very flavorful as were the potatoes. We also ordered decaf mocha lattes which were so good. The weather was perfect, so we sat outside. They had a steady stream of customers, which makes sense once you've eaten there. This place deserves their almost 5 stars. I'll be sure to eat here again next time I'm in town!! read more

Uptown Eats made Yelps top 100 places to eat in 2023 so I had to see the hype for myself. And I get it. A true neighborhood cafe offering a variety of menu items; pastries and cookies, breakfast and lunch, and of course all the different caffeinated beverages. Pro tip, don't snag a table before ordering at the counter. Place your order at the counter first and then find a table either indoor our outdoor. The staff will bring your order to you. Food items are made to order from scratch. And it's noticeable. Their BLT came with a flavorful rosemary-maple-Dijon aioli that caught me off guard in the best way. They had a cheesesteak on special that was pretty good. Not a fan favorite and a bit messy. Their menu changes quite often making each visit a surprise. Uptown Eats is worth the visit. read more

This place is one of my fav. They have great grits and the jam breakfast sandwich is delicious. They are always busy, which is a good sign. Customer service is friendly and they work fast. Don't let the long line scare you. Especially because you can't sit until you order, but it surprisingly works itself out well. Trust their magic. read more

This is an updated review of the drastic change in prices and portion size. We've been eating here for 4 years and thoroughly enjoy the food quality and service. The downturn is absurd price increases and reduced portion size in scones and bowls. The photos I have posted along with others speak volumes. The Bowl Breakfasts have increased from $8-9 to currently $15-16 in 4 years, and the scones are noticeably smaller, and the price has almost doubled. Portion size should have remained the same during price increases, but increases of such drastic dollar amounts and portions reduced is a recipe for business decline. Look at the photos of menus and food from just a year ago and note the changes. read more

We stopped here for breakfast before exploring St. Pete on our last full day of our Florida trip (Thursday morning). It was not very busy and it was great weather. I think we missed a lot of the crowds in Florida in general from most people going for spring break a couple weeks before (we went Memorial Day week). They are pet friendly outside and have several tables to choose from, all nice and shaded. You order inside, but then they will bring everything out to you, which is really nice since we had our dogs. We each got an uptown cooler and it was the perfect amount of ratio of sweet and coffee, not too overpowering, not too bitter. We got a coffee cake and a cheddar jalapeño scone to share. They were both really good in their own ways, but completely different to compare to each other over which was "best." I recommend both! My husband ordered the uptown bowl and I ordered the greens n things bowl. We both opted to top them with an over easy egg and they were sososo good. We ordered a side of bacon to give to the dogs and a fruit plate for us to share. The fruit plate was the best of our whole trip- it had bananas, watermelon slices, blueberries, strawberries, orange slices, and nectarines/peaches. They were all so fresh and perfectly ripe. I would 100% stop in here again if we vacationed nearby or in St. Pete again. read more

Wowwwww~ maybe my new fave breakfast spot in DTSP? The Irish Creme coffee was smooth and delicious. This toast was ....

I love the location, great service and vibes! Will be back read more

This is a "Must Do" place to enjoy breakfast or just coffee. Everything we ordered was outstanding as was the service!

This place is fantastic. I've been twice now and am not sure I can find anything I'm not too crazy about. Everything from the food to the service to the coffee to the music to the people watching to the SUSTAINABILITY effort... you're looking at a pure winner, here. Uptown Eats has it all. Can we talk about their Air Carbon straws for a second?? They look and feel like traditional plastic straws, but are the first Carbon-Negative straw - I love this! There were 3 of us who dined at Uptown Eats this past weekend and we ordered The Uptown Bowl, 2 Egg Dish & a Berry Bowl. We also got a iced coffee, hazelnut iced coffee and hot tea. They have a selection of single tea bags available when you place your order. Note, Uptown Eats closes on most days by 2pm, so yes, this is a breakfasty/brunchy/lunchy place - they're closed on Tuesday's. They also have outdoor seating - gosh, maybe about 7 tables or so? Okay, that was a guess, a fair guess. Tables are available inside as well. This is a solid go-to for me now, whenever I'm visiting my friends in the St. Pete area. read more

I had the most delicious chicken salad I've ever had. And the bed of tender baby greens was beyond delicious. How often can you say that about salad greens? They use locally grown lettuces, and they made the salad so much better! I come here often for coffee, a chai tea, and a , but now that I've had lunch here, I'm coming back for more!! The service is always friendly, helpful and efficient. And I love all the shaded tables outside under the trees! read more

I have reviewed Uptown before, but in my experience it pays to keep posting when a cafe is not only good, but STAYS good! Dan and the gang just keep hitting the home runs here. Still consistently the best breakfast/brunch in St. Pete - worth the wait when crowded, friendly staff, gobsmacking bakery case, inventive menu, different and determined to stay that way! I know this isn't everyone's taste, but a "Jam on it with Spam and collared greens" is my favorite and it is epic. read more

Visiting St Pete for the week. My Wife and with two lil fur ba iea in tow visited twice for breakfast. And we will be back before hitting the road back to Miami. Found on Yelp, and it was in walking in distance to the Airbnb we were staying at. They are very customer oriented and dog friendly. There is seating inside and out. The food is healthy and delicious. You can't go wrong picking anything off the menu. Front the coffee to scones, to the bowls or sandwiches it was all amazing. It's definitely our fav spot for breakfast in St Pete. We are already planning a trip to come back. read more

This is one of my top breakfast spots in the city! Their scone and veg gravy is fantastic, ordered with a side of fresh potatoes. (The real thing-no frozen bagged stuff here!) In fact, EVERYTHING is made from scratch here, and it shows! Soooo damn good! I also love their jam bars-apricot is my fave, but the raspberry is also delicious. The coffee is, of course, excellent. (I do decaf, but my friends rave about the fully leaded stuff.) To top it off, the staff is lovely. Uptown is a pleasure every time! read more

I've passed by this place almost every Sunday for the past 3 years and always think to myself, "I really should try that place!" Well, I finally did it and it was great! Super chill atmosphere, indoor/outdoor seating and fresh food make up this wonderful place. If you go, grab yourself an Ube latte and Avocado Toast. It will not disappoint. The ube latte was light, not overwhelming, made with coconut milk. The avocado toast was amazing, like a build your own. I added on a fried egg and bacon crumbles, because I wanted something decadent. Best part... I didn't feel overly stuffed when I was done. Atmosphere: 5/5 Price: 4/5 - a little on the pricy side if you get the extra egg and bacon Customer Service: 5/5 Food: 10/5 Drinks: 1,000,000/5 Overall: 5/5 definitely recommend read more

This is not my style of restaurant. You need to order your food and hope you get a table. If you do, they do bring the food to you. My husband ordered the Hot Hot Heat. He said it was good but small for the price. I ordered 2 eggs scrambled with pork sausage. My eggs were super runny and my pork sausage was pink so I did not finish it. All in all, expensive & not great even after you have to work hard to get your own table. One and done. Never going back. read more

Uptown Eats has come a long way since I reviewed them last. Owner Dan Schmidt's cozy café has only improved over time, with even more creativity on their menu in terms of breakfast/brunch options and fun specials geared toward satisfying their neighborhood crowd. Their breakfast sandwiches are particularly excellent. My favorite is the "Jam on It", but substitute fried Spam for the protein, making it a "Spam on It." Sound strange? Try it first -- promise you'll be impressed! This is the place that earned "Best Sandwich of the Month" from CL Tampa Bay for 2023-they know what they're doing! Not interested in a breakfast sandwich? Try the Scones and Gravy or Gouda grits. Either one will have you wondering where it's been all your life. Add their flair for delicious coffees, use of fresh ingredients, and friendly atmosphere and you've got an absolutely delightful weekend brunch spot. Just be sure you come early to snag parking and to make sure they haven't run out of the specials! read more
